Welcome to the Fuquay-Varina FFA website. Fuquay-Varina FFA is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Founded in 1928, the Future Farmers of America brought together students, teachers and agribusiness to solidify support for agricultural education. In Kansas City's Baltimore Hotel, 33 young farmboys charted a course for the future. They could not have foreseen how the organization would grow and thrive. Since 1928, millions of agriculture students (no one knows exactly how many) have donned the official FFA jacket and championed the FFA creed. FFA has opened its doors and its arms to minorities and women, ensuring that all students could reap the benefits of agricultural education. The National FFA Organization now has over 500,000 members in over 7,000 chapters throughout all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. High school and Middle school students compete in various events called Career Development Events (CDEs). Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs, and Leadership Development Events (LDEs) are programs designed to broaden the students abilities and experience in different fields of agriculture. Students are supervised by agricultural education teachers in cooperation with parents, employers and other adults who assist individuals in the development and achievement of educational and career goals. In 1988 the Future Farmers of America changed it name to simply the National FFA Organization to encompass the growing diversity of Agriculture. The Fuquay FFA chapter was established in 1931. The Ag. program at FVHS offers Ag. Science, Ag. Mechanics 1 and 2, Horticulture 1, and Advanced Studies. The 2009 - 2010 Fuquay Varina FFA Officer team consists of:
